Strength coaching

Personal trainer website design in Suffolk

A one-coach studio cannot beat a gym on facilities, so its website has to compete on commitment instead.

Rolling memberships are a leisure-centre product. A coach with four racks and a rubber floor is selling a block of weeks with a person in it, and the site should commit to the number early rather than hide it behind an enquiry form.

Built, and live

Saltline Strength

One coach, four racks, a rubber floor on an industrial estate. Everything is sold in six-week blocks rather than rolling memberships, so the page commits to the number early and keeps the conversion rail in reach the whole way down instead of hiding pricing behind an enquiry.

The home page of the Saltline Strength site

Saltline Strength is a fictional business in an invented Suffolk town, built to the same standard as paid work and deployed to its own address. It is set to noindex so it can never compete with a real strength coaching in search — everything indexable about it lives on this page instead.

The brief

What this website actually has to do

The price, early

Coaching is bought by people who have already decided to spend money. Hiding the figure filters out the serious ones first.

What six weeks contains

Sessions a week, group size, what happens between sessions, and what is measured at the end.

Who it is not for

Saying plainly that this is not a drop-in gym saves both sides a wasted conversation.

A way in that is not a free trial

The next block start date does more work than a “claim your free session” button.

The build

How this one does it

  • Sold in blocks, not memberships. Saltline states the commitment as the offer, and keeps the conversion rail in reach the whole way down the page.
  • No photographs of bodies. The brand reads better as type and shape than as somebody else’s before-and-after.
  • One page, in the right order. What it is, who it is for, what it costs, when the next block starts.

What one costs

Website, built and handed over, from £300. A website designed, built and handed to you outright. You own the site and the hosting account, and there is nothing to keep paying me. Later changes are £49 an hour, only when you ask for them, and there is a monthly option at £89 if you need software as well as a site.

Quotes are fixed and in writing before anything starts, and I show you the finished site on a development link before asking for a penny.
